Other cities still have a chance; the flow of air from the southwest is still making its way across Upstate, and temperatures are likely to keep rising.

This warm air from the southwest is also bringing in levels of moisture four times as high as normal in the atmosphere in January. That moisture could lead to flooding as heavy rain falls and warm temperatures melt snow.

These temperatures won't last long: A cold front passing through Friday night will keep Saturday's highs only in the teens.

Here are the latest high temperatures compared to the records for selected Upstate cities. We'll update this chart later today.
